Meet PlansightAI™

How PlansightAI™ Is Confidently Reducing Risk with Data Extraction and Normalization.

Executive Summary

Insurance brokers and their teams are no strangers to complexity. Manually reviewing carrier proposals, SBCs, and policies is time-consuming and risky. With class-based plans and inconsistent formatting, even the most seasoned teams spend hours chasing down clean data before they can even begin to strategize.

PlansightAI™ changes that.

Built specifically for the employee benefits industry, PlansightAI™ is a secure, AI-powered system that reads, extracts, and structures plan data from carrier documents, whether they arrive as PDFs, Word files, or Excel sheets. It's consistent, tireless, and accurate. Like your most reliable team member, it works 24/7.

If you've ever found yourself buried in emails, PDFs, and spreadsheets, PlansightAI™ isn't just a faster way forward. It's a smarter one. It turns hours of manual work into just minutes of review time and anchors into Plansight's all-in-one RFP solution.

The Problem with Manual Data Entry

Most brokers and their teams have become quite adept at navigating the complexities of spreadsheets. But even the most dialed-in workflows still depend on:

  • Time spent cleaning up "Current" plan columns
  • Manual creation of comparison columns for each proposal
  • Side-by-side quoting that requires 15 to 20 minutes of QC per plan
  • Hunting through documents to verify where numbers came from

For just one benefit type, that adds up to 1.5 to 2 hours of work. Multiply that across carriers, benefit lines, and clients, and the risk of human error becomes unavoidable.

Carrier documents aren't built for efficiency. They're dense, inconsistent, and difficult to reconcile at scale. And during Q4, even small mistakes can quickly escalate into significant problems.

How PlansightAI™ Works

PlansightAI™ solves these problems at the source. It reads and extracts plan information from standard document types like:

  • Certificates of Coverage
  • Policies
  • SBCs (Summary of Benefits and Coverage)
  • Amendments
  • Carrier Proposals
  • Renewal Packets
  • Word and Excel quote submissions

Once extracted, the data is normalized, categorized by product type, and presented in a format ready for side-by-side review. From there, it can be shared with clients, integrated with platforms like BenefitPoint, or used to build new plan options in Plansight instantly.

Everything stays in one place. No more quotes buried in inboxes or lost in version control.

What Makes It Different: SmartSheetingAI™

Carrier quote PDFs are a mess. Benefit details scattered across pages, rates in different formats, plan names that don't match your system. Extracting it all manually takes hours and invites errors.

SmartSheetingAI™ changes that. It extracts plan data from carrier documents, normalizes it into a consistent structure, and delivers a customized Excel output you can paste straight into your client presentation. Minutes instead of hours.

Every extracted value is tagged so your team knows what's verified, what's changed, and what needs review, no guessing, no hunting through documents. That's Smartsheeting, the QC layer that keeps your team confident in every number.
